This request was granted and Trooper Reigel followed the prisoner about the house until Quick went in the bath room clad only in underwear. The door was left partially open. A few moments later a report was heard and Quick was found where he had fallen with part of his body in the bath tub and a bullet from a 32 calibre revolver through his head.
